Can you help me with my problems?

i want to make a bootable usb image of a ubuntu system. point is, i want to use a USB (witch you normaly can install ubuntu from) to boot from with some special applications i need. i know you can use a ubuntu stick and click on "try ubuntu" to work from it. only problem is: you can install some apps to use it. but everytime you power off the pc you need to reinstall it.

i want to change or use a backup to make a usable usb like a hirens boot to change the image, so i can use all the tools i need without reinstalling it every single time. i've been stuck for some months now. can anybody help?

im not much of a programmer, although im learning it. anybody have an idea or who can help me to achieve my goal.

Also i already used squashfs files to edit it, but im not reallly understanding what i have to change. you can mount en unsquash the filesystem. and edit that, but it havent been succesfull for me. it didnt work everytime i tried

just to be clear again, goal:

create my own bootable ubuntu from an USB, with special application/tools of my or your (if anybody else wanna use it) needs.

I hope you guys/gals can help me.

A very detailed procedure on how to create a custom live CD is available on Github. It shows how to set up a chroot eenvironmemnt, in which you configure and build your live system, and how to create a bootable ISO of it.

There used to be software, Ubuntu Kit Customization kit. This made it a very easy task. Unfortunately, that project was discontinued.
